Although I had no plans of writing the support anytime soon, I gave Lua (I'm liking it even more than before!) and SWIG too a closer look, after. SWIG documentation is immense and I have only glanced at it, but it would seem to me that using SWIG, even if it had Lua support, would severely limit what could be done and what could safely (mmmm... userdata with watch-linked objects gc tags) be done. It would be nice to be able to easily generate interfaces to many languages but I'm currently inclined to not use SWIG. -- Tuomo
